Hello everyone! I started brewing in june, and I'm currently planning my 5th batch. From what I've experienced with my brews so far, they are all too dry/don't have a lot of body. I'm trying to debug the problem and one theory seems to fit. Please correct me if I'm wrong! I am mashing in a...

Awesome recipe. Even straight out of the fermenter I was already enjoying it! :ban:

I suggested that in my reply (lubing it), you could've avoided yourself the struggle :)

I had pretty much the same brew day experience (this was my second batch BTW). I had my grains crushed at the LHBS too. They told me that wheat was harder to crush as they are smaller and harder than most. Their mill was set to crush regular grain and the result was quite disappointing (I only...

You could boil more (don't forgot to delay hop additions!). That's what I did and I sacrificed 1.5L of beer for better taste :)

There is a calculator in beersmith that will tell you how long you have to boil to reach a target gravity. However you need to know your boil-off rate.

I brewed a Hefe last week and the target was 1.055 OG in beersmith. However the PREBOIL SG was 1.045. I undershoot due to bad crush and hit 1.034 so I corrected with what I had left of DME (1.039) and boiled 30 mins more. Still ended up under the target but at least its in the style range :)

I had this happen on my first batch two weeks ago. I absolutely couldn't get the rubber stopper to come out until I lubed it. So make sure you do that first. I used a tool to take it out but I don't know how its named. Apparently you push it into a wine bottle, stick the cork in the middle of...

I got two 30" as suggested. They can be stacked for easy storage too. I can soak my racking cane (it fits almost perfectly) using only 2L of sanitizer. This is quite practical and economical. I recommended it to a few friends!

Yay! Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.

Anyone know where I could find a container roughly 3-4 feet long and maybe 6 inch wide? I'd like to soak my equipement in there to sanitize/clean some parts (racking cane, thermometer, vynil tubes, wine thief, stuff like that). The reason behind this is I don't want to use a couple of gallons...

I'd like to hook up a tube from my mash tun to facilitate the lautering process. I currently only have vynil hoses which aren't great at high temp. What kind of material is easily accessible at hardware stores that I could use? Flexible tubing would be better. I already have a couple feet of...

Started straight to AG. Read How to brew, this forum and a couple of other sources on all the process until I had a clear mental picture of the whole thing. I practiced a bit with the equipment using water. And so far I've done 2 batches successfully, one is bottled and the other is fermenting...

I hope its not then. But why did the flavor go away by letting it rest?

Hey guys, My first batch is a scottish 80. I bottled it on monday. The beer tastes alright except for a predominant off-flavor. Its a bit hard to describe but it seems to correspond to DMS. I know I shouldn't diagnose anything before bottle condition is done but I can't help it. One thing...

Nice crombie. :mug: Beer goes well with overtime!

+1 boil overs. I've done my first AG last week, everything went fine, hit OG dead on, volume wasn't what I expected due to boilovers (violent! ~0.5gal lost).
